In Tang Xin’s eyes, although Luo Chen did not look particularly poor, this kind of place was not somewhere an ordinary middle-class family or small business owner could afford. So in her view, this remark was perfectly understandable.
Luo Chen did not mind at all. Instead, he wondered why such a large restaurant seemed to have so few waiters. “Waiter, are there any private rooms left?” Tang Xin stopped a waiter who was carrying dishes. “Not for now. How about the main hall?” the waiter said hurriedly.
Tang Xin nodded. She had only asked casually, after all, a private room here cost more than fifty thousand yuan. This money could be saved, so why not save it? After all, she was not treating a director or producer to dinner. She was merely treating Luo Chen to a meal. Being able to invite him here already showed considerable sincerity.
After sitting down, Tang Xin did not let Luo Chen order the dishes. After all, every dish here cost several thousand yuan at minimum. She did not know what the owner was thinking. If the prices were slightly lower, perhaps there would be queues at the door every day.
She ordered four dishes, costing more than ten thousand yuan in total. Tang Xin nodded with satisfaction. Only the serving speed seemed rather slow. Tang Xin ordered some fruit juice and began drinking it herself.
After the dishes arrived, just as she was about to pick up her chopsticks, a group of gaudily dressed people walked in through the door. At their head was a horse-faced young man with dyed blond hair and a thick gold chain as wide as a thumb.
Tang Xin hurriedly prepared to lower her head. She had recently been pursued by a rich second-generation heir from Bozhou. Even in the north, that heir came from a wealthy and powerful family. Originally this might have been a good thing, as she could enter such a powerful family. However, that rich heir only played around when pursuing girls, so Tang Xin naturally was unwilling.
And that horse-faced young man was one of the rich heir’s lackeys, Cui Hao. Because Cui Hao relied on that rich heir, he was considered a somewhat prominent local thug in Bocheng. Normally very few people dared to provoke him. It was said that he already had five lives on his hands up to now. But he was still wandering around outside, which clearly showed his background was not ordinary.
Only as Tang Xin had just lowered her head, the other party spotted her. “Isn’t this Sister-in-law?” Cui Hao strode over arrogantly with large steps. “Hello, Sister-in-law!” Cui Hao said with a smile, bringing five or six underlings with him.
Tang Xin’s face looked somewhat ugly, and she directly pretended not to know him. Luo Chen naturally did not pay attention either.
But this scene made Cui Hao somewhat unhappy. If not for the fact that his backer had taken a fancy to this little wench, based on this attitude alone, he would have gone up and slapped her a few times. But thinking was one thing. Cui Hao still did not dare to act recklessly. After all, his backer had taken a fancy to her. If he could win Tang Xin over and present her to that young master, then he would have rendered a great service. So Cui Hao did not dare to overstep his bounds, and instead turned his gaze towards Luo Chen.
“You, get up and move over there. I want to have a chat with Sister-in-law!” Cui Hao said directly in a fierce and malicious manner.
But Luo Chen did not even glance at him, and continued eating on his own. This immediately made Cui Hao unable to maintain his face. After all, Tang Xin did not give him face, and he did not dare to act recklessly. But what about other people? And this pretty boy was eating with Tang Xin. He might be that young master’s rival in love.
“I am talking to you. Did you not hear me?” Cui Hao directly roared in anger. “Why does this restaurant allow dogs to enter?” Luo Chen suddenly spoke. This remark, let alone Cui Hao, even made Tang Xin’s face change drastically. This was clearly a direct insult to Cui Hao’s face.
Several people immediately pressed forward. Cui Hao directly rushed forward in one step, reaching out to hit someone. But just as he reached out, suddenly a bowl of Maoxuewang, still bubbling with oil, was handed over. “Your dish!” said a young girl of about seventeen or eighteen. But it was obvious that the young girl was not in form today. She did not pay attention, and this happened to be handed right beneath Cui Hao’s outstretched hand.
Cui Hao reached out and went straight into it. His hand immediately trembled, and the entire bowl of Maoxuewang was knocked over. And Cui Hao’s hand was scalded red. “You fucking blind?” Cui Hao suddenly cursed at the young girl!
The young girl had delicate and pretty features, and was quite fair. Her large, watery eyes should have been very beautiful. But now they were lifeless. She had definitely been distracted just now, otherwise this would not have happened. But after being shouted at by Cui Hao, the young girl immediately came back to her senses. She then suddenly lowered her head and spoke with tears in the corners of her eyes. “Sorry, sorry, I did not do it on purpose.”
“You fucking want to die?” Cui Hao suddenly roared. The other people in the entire restaurant did not want to get involved, so no one intervened. And the other waiters were even more cold and heartless, as if they hoped something would happen to the young girl. Cui Hao’s underling suddenly gave a hard push. The young girl immediately fell back and crashed into the side of a table. Her arm instantly started bleeding.
“You fucking…” “Bang!” A thick porcelain bowl directly smashed onto Cui Hao’s head, and immediately blood flowed like a column from Cui Hao! The bowl was thrown by Luo Chen. “You dare to hit…” “Bang!” Another large porcelain basin smashed onto Cui Hao’s head, and Cui Hao was directly knocked unconscious. Clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation. Tang Xin looked at Luo Chen in astonishment.
She had not expected that Luo Chen would hit someone so decisively and so ruthlessly. Cui Hao directly fell to the ground. The remaining group of thugs were immediately stunned. First, not to mention Luo Chen’s skill, just the manner in which Luo Chen hit people was somewhat frightening. This was not merely hitting someone, it was almost like killing.
Luo Chen did not even glance at Cui Hao lying on the ground. Instead, he got up to help the young girl. The young girl was clearly terrified. Tears flowed uncontrollably, and no one was looking after her. Luo Chen pulled out several tissues and pressed them against the young girl’s arm. “Thank you,” the young girl said through her tears.
And Cui Hao was quickly carried out by others. After all, now was not the time to deal with Luo Chen, but to save someone urgently. Fortunately, the hospital was right opposite, so even an ambulance was not needed. And Luo Chen frowned as he looked at the young girl.
“Quite serious. Not only is the skin broken, but it is also dislocated. I will take you to the hospital.” Luo Chen took the young girl’s hand and left, without paying any attention to Tang Xin. “You have caused trouble.” Tang Xin shouted at Luo Chen’s retreating figure, but Luo Chen did not turn his head at all, and completely ignored Tang Xin.
Not everyone would act righteously, and not everyone had that courage. When the young girl was pushed just now, not a single person was willing to help. This was human nature!
When they arrived at the hospital, after some busy treatment, the young girl had a cast and bandages applied. Then all along the way she repeatedly thanked Luo Chen. “Come back later to change the dressing. If you are family, leave your phone number,” the nurse said.
Luo Chen left his phone number, then let the young girl return to the restaurant opposite. Because Cui Hao had brought people waiting for Luo Chen on the other side. “This is the hospital entrance. I will not make a move here. You dared to hit me. If you have guts, tell me where you live. We will meet tonight!” Cui Hao held a gun in his hand and directly threatened.
Luo Chen looked at Cui Hao. An inexplicable irritation arose in his heart, then a flash of killing intent passed through. He suddenly spoke. “Fine, Bozhou Village 304, outside the city.” Killing so many people here would inevitably cause some trouble. If these guys went to that house, no matter how many came, Luo Chen would kill them all!
